Mikel Arteta told forgotten Arsenal man could make Man City, Real Madrid or Barcelona transfer

Marseille boss Igor Tudor believes that Arsenal loanee Nuno Tavares could make a switch to Manchester City, Real Madrid or Barcelona in the future. The huge claim comes as the Portuguese defender impresses on loan with French side Marseille, where he has spent the season.

Tavares joined the Gunners last campaign, where he had a more important role than many had anticipated after filling in for the injury concerns of Kieran Tierney. While he showed glimpses of his ability, it seemed too soon for the youngster as he struggled to impose himself into the side.

After a tough season, Tavares was sent on loan as Oleksandr Zinchenko joined the club to earn the role as left-back. Discussing the decision last summer, Mikel Arteta said: "It’s announced it’s official and for Nuno’s development I think it’s going to be really important."
